Well, have you subscribed to the electronic editions of some newspapers lately? I gave the 'Globe and Mail', from Toronto, Ontario a try about 6 months ago. They have you install a special version of a PDF viewer, and you get charged 'per download' of an electronic copy. That copy is ONLY viewable on the PC it was downloaded to, and YOU CAN'T PRINT IT, in whole or parts. And after 15 DAYS, the file is NO LONGER VIEWABLE! Needless to say (but I'll say it anyway), the first copy I got was also the last...
